jonschaaf: total wizard

Pip says:: I couldn't do this shot correctly without betraying my technique, which makes me all the more impressed with @jonshaaf (and @brandon, for pulling off the effect way better than I could).

I tried.

sariebell says:: Are you reflecting in the menu out front of the Chinaman restaurant? That's how I'd do it, I reckon. Nicely done!

brandon says:: So well done. I was sweating by the time I finished mine it took so many takes. And yeah, he probably did it in one.

mackle says:: did he ever reveal his secret for how he pulled off all those amazing images? I can't remember.. I hope he did so I can steal them all.

Ned Kelly says:: nicely nicely done , is your technique pure wizardry? -- &where is jonshaaf this year? i keep wondering and then forgetting and then …etc

tedford says:: i'm going with the popular consensus - wizardry.

Grower&Shower says:: Nicely done. What an enormous mountain to climb-- jonschaaf.

Dschonn says:: My Caturday photo was an attempt at a jonschaaf stylejack.

mattyc says:: so what was the technique he was using?

aaron itchyface says:: you're a damn genius. dig it!

Andrew says:: You're a wizard just like @jonschaaf

This turned out nicely.

I'm guessing it has to do with the amount of light reflected off the glass and how dark/opaque the background behind you is

ThatGuy says:: I love this shot and the original. Such great stuff. I wish I had done this in 07.

jnonfiction says:: Jonschaff's technique involved selling his soul. So yeah, @Brandon, you might sweat a little...
Posted: Feb 25th, 2010 - 7:19pm - ∞

GrowWithTheFlow says:: I'd say you did very well...
Posted: Feb 25th, 2010 - 7:36pm - ∞

Presto Beardo says:: @jonschaaf never gave up his secret, I remember people asking him at the 07 throwdown, and he would refuse

JoePat says:: A lot of katakana in that Japanese

zackle says:: I know his secret, but I wish I didn't. It's a heavy burden to carry and I must carry it alone.
Posted: Feb 25th, 2010 - 7:58pm - ∞

zackle says:: But damn, this is fantastic. Kudos.
Posted: Feb 25th, 2010 - 7:59pm - ∞

Pip says:: @mackle Nope, he never told me (CURSES!!). This shot (and I think @Brandon's too) is of my computer screen, focused deep on the reflection of my lit self. I tried for an hour to make it look like jonschaaf's and couldn't get anywhere close. His setup is probably really simple, and it's just a combination of his particular gear, setting, and genius that makes it work for him so well.

Plus, great hair.

Pip says:: Also, I think he used different techniques for different shots, though having similar effects.

HE'S A WIZARD.

Eric the Beard says:: Well done!

Absolutely says:: oh man I forgot about Jon Schaaff. He was good and much taller than anyone expected him to be.

hankbobs says:: Wow pip, nice choice. Very cool
